With the above and other objects and advantages in view, the invention consists of the novel details of construction, arrangement'and combination of parts more fully hereinafter described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:

Figure l is a top plan view of an embodiment of the invention;

Figure 2 is a sectional view on theline 2-2 of Figure 1;

Figure 3 is an end view thereof, and

Figure 4'is a sectional view on the line 4-4 of Figure 1.

Referring more in detail to the drawing, the reference numeral Ill designates the base plate of the device which is detachably connected by a fastener l2 to the L-shaped bracket l4 secured to the under-surface of the left arm l6 of a barber chair or the like, by means of the screw I8, and the elongated slot in the bracket l4 permits adjustment of the bracket with rel-ation to the arm [6. Adjacent one end of the base plate 10, a circular formation of upstruck springyarms 22 is provided and the arms are curved and assume the shape of a sector of a circle. These arms, by reason of their formation, will retain an ash tray therein, and being adjacent the arm I6 of the chair, can be easily used by the occupant thereof.

The base plate It is provided with outwardly extending portions 24 and 26, and portion 24 bent in a curved formation along the line 28 forms the front wall of a case 30 and portion 26 bent at right angles along the line 32 forms the rear wall of the case and the side or end Walls 34 are secured to the marginal edges of the portions and the base, by Welding, soldering or any other suitable method.
